Glastonbury is always full of surprising acts on its line-ups, and they haven't held back this year, with none other than Johnny Depp joining proceedings at Worthy Farm.

While he won't actually be playing music, the Pirates of the Caribbean star has been given a "guest of honour" slot by introducing a personal selection of films at new drive-in movie area, Cineramageddon.

The movies will be screened on Thursday, June 22, and Depp will discuss them with filmmaker Julien Temple. His choices include The Libertine, in which he starred, Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man, and Withnail & I – which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year.
